Diseases

Dreamer
Diseases play a big role in my work. Certain diseases have killed thousands and changed the course of history. I’ve made up diseases for my fantasy world. There’s a particularly nasty one called swamp fever that killed the mother of the protagonist of my latest story (and left him with some health problems).

I’ve also used a few interesting real world diseases and genetic conditions. There’s man whose daughter suffers from progeria and who turns to black magic and becomes a mass murderer to save her for example.

I have mental illnesses, deformities and even magical illnesses. Playing with such things is fun!
